Welcome to a place that will be kind and supportive to you. You have taken a courageous step. Write and talk at your own pace, you need to feel safe. We all heal at our own pace and what has worked for one may not work for another.

It can be an emotional roller coaster--ups and downs. Lean on those that support you in the down times.

Your story is very similar to many survivors, we tried to put the abuse in the past, to move forward, but it came back with overwhelming emotions that demanded their own time in our conscious presence.

It is a struggle, but you are in the right path and the right place. I encourage you to keep sharing, safely and publicly, openly and honestly so that nothing holds back the healing progress and stability.

My experience is it's the secrets inside that can kill you. Don't rush anything. Be patient. Take your time. You will naturally find the right people and right situations that are helpful to you and supportive for you. What needs to come up and out will happen when the time is right for you. Welcome and be gentle with yourself. Don

Hello Mike, good to see you here!There are many ways to connect with other survivors: trough personal messages, chat or public broads; so go slowly and search what is the best for you. If there will be something disturbing and triggering here please step aside and take some time. We need to keep our inner peace no matter what we are doing as it is prerequisite for healing.

We have had some nice men from SA present here, some of them have established web sites for survivors of sexual abuse - maybe it could be helpful, if you like I could find their links?

welcome and make yourself at home here. share what you can when you can - or just ask questions - whatever you are ready for. reach out and you will find many willing hands waiting to help you along.

hope to get to know you better,LEE
